My Robocopy Command

Quick blurb for my future self when he needs to use Robocopy to copy files from one destination to another quickly.

The below command only copies the data and the attributes but not the permissions. I had some fun issues with copying in the past from a server share so as a result I remove the permissions so I can actually delete or control the directory that I am moving efficiently.

Also, future self, remember that the purge flag is on there and it will kill anything in the destination directory that isn’t in the source.

robocopy "B:/" "C:/DestinationFolder" /W:1 /MT:128 /e /zb /purge /DCOPY:DAT /COPY:DAT /LOG+:myCopyLog.log
